music monday

It’s no big secret that we’re suckers for remixes here at SDE Radio. As of late we’ve heard our share of the good, the bad, and the… unlistenable.

For today’s #musicmonday we bring you a Médico Dub Remix of Torreblanca’s Defensa. As if that wasn’t enough… the remix also features femme hip-hopper, Niña Dioz.

Our Year in Lists: Favorite 10 Albums of 2011

We once again wrap up “Our Year in Lists,” with the one that carries the most weight: “Our Favorite 10 Albums of the Year.”

Being that we are a radio music blog, we tend to put more emphasis on listening to singles. However, here are the 10 albums we liked the most as complete Albums in 2011.

Rather than be verbose… we’ll let the albums speak for themselves.

** We understand comparing any band to Café Tacvba can be considered sacrilegious.  We went ahead and did it because we believe Torreblanca’s musical abilities, as a band, will prove the comparison true in the long run**

Torreblanca – Lobo (video clip)

Torrblanca, one of our favorite bands our of the Mexican alternative scene, are getting ready for the release of their full length album. 2 weeks ago they released their first single, and 3 days ago they release a video for the song Lobo.

It’s more of a promo video, showing the band rehearsing, recording, and preparing themselves for Vive Latino. We’ll take it… because it has a high quality version of the song. Rumors are that Torreblanca will be back in LA soon.

Top 5 Latin Alternative EP’s – 2010

The time has come. Last Tuesday we unveiled out Top 30 Latin Alternative singles for the year… and today, we bring you the next part of our “Year in Lists.”
In 2009, we only published our favorite songs (in no particular order) and Top 10 Albums… but this year we’ve expanded our categories to include some of the killer compilations and exciting EP’s release this year. Here are our 5 favorite EP’s for 2010:

4. Instituto Mexicano del Sonido – Suave Patria

Banda sonora for the weekend…

It’s that time of year…se acerca navidad. There are decorations everywhere. Christmas music is blasting in restaurants, malls, airports… and it makes us want to shoot ourselves. But don’t worry… this week’s suggestions aren’t filled with Christmas songs en Español, that will be in 2 weeks. This week, because we are currently in San Francisco, y esta lloviendo, we found a soundtrack for the weekend to fit our mood: severely melancholy. Enjoy!

“Like we always do about this time!”
Torreblanca – Parece Navidad: Brand new video for the closing track on what we believe to be a superb EP. It’s got a retro look and tells the spooky story contained in the lyrics quite well. If you love the song check it out live in the acoustic session Torreblanca did for us. iTunes
